The difference between the X’er and myself is that the world he has inhabited since he came of age was already infested by MADD, and the various other groups that were spawned of their success.

The world of freedom has condensed considerably in the last 30 years, and we can rest assured that the freedom(s) enjoyed by our father(s) had been similarly reduced by FDR and his like minded communists, and thr corresponding reduction in the freedom of our fathers from their fathers.

There has bee a consistent slide in the available liberty to each succeeding generation. such that there is so little freedom left. The world my sons will inhabit is frighteningly free of liberty. That is what the future portends when the like of Baraq Obunghole speaks of freedom, freedom from liberty.

Yeah, I think to be a member of the niche, "Generation Jones" (you'd fit in too) is that you remember black and white TV, watching TV over the air, seeing the landings on the Moon as a child, yet, also was the first to see having a personal computer as somewhat normal or at least experienced the first home computers (Apple, Atari Commodore PETs/VIC-20/C-64, TI-99/4A's, etc). Also experiencing the age of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher is a must too as well as coming to age in the late 1970's and 1980's.

Truthfully, the slide against freedom started when the Civil War ended but it really got legs with Teddy Roosevelt, went faster with Woodrow Wilson, took a hiatus in the 1920's and it started under FDR again and down the line to what we have now.

I do think that the two Roosevelts did have good intentions in mind and at least they were not America haters, but in so doing, we traded freedom for security and that is the true casualty. The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The big difference with Obunghole and Woodrow Wilson is they hate America by hating our system so much that they want to change everything we hold dear. and they will take our freedom away just so they can have their own way.

MADD Was a good idea at one time but it has lived out its usefulness and has become a monster that was created like a Frankenstein. Awareness of the problem of drunk driving is one thing but to tighten tings so much that one drop of beer puts you over the limit is another thing entirely as well as those sobriety checkpoints.
